Levon Kendall

He averaged 23.2 points, 13 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game as a senior.

This knocked out Team USA for any kind of medal contention and helped Canada win a Bronze medal, the first medal in Canada Basketball history. He was elected to the All-Tournament team. Following his performance, he was promoted to the Canadian Senior National Team. In the summer of 2008, Levon scored a double-double against the USA Dream Team led by Kobe Bryant and company.
